Thought you guys would want to see my project. I wanted a tunnel style shallow draft flats boat so I bought the Tunnel King set of plans from you.
</p><p>
The hull I built is the same as the Tunnel King but I increased the beam to 95\" by increasing the depth. This added 3.5\" of freeboard after I installed the deck.
</p><p>
I then fabricated the gunnels and then rolled them for a dryer ride. The entire hull and deck is fiber glassed. I also made the deck self bailing.
</p><p>
The handling of the boat is fantastic. It will plane out instantly which is paramount in shallow water. With a 70 HP it will run about 36 MPH and is perfect for back bay fishing. The hull is foamed for added safety.
</p><p>
I cant tell you how much fun I had building her.
